I have a cousin who never really liked his Ps2...the noob he is. And he got an XBox eventually. There was something on the disc tray that kept the Ps2 from reading the discs..so I took it out and it worked fine again. He sold the thing to me for 30 bucks after that, since I was looking to buy a Ps2 anyway...HILARIOUS but awesome. And it was entirely his choice to sell it for that low as well xD
